He also had a deep love for dogs, especially his two Shih Tzus, Boo‑Boo and Suzy‑Q, who brought him great joy. Those who knew him will remember his generous spirit, his loving nature, and a sense of humor that brightened every room.

Russ will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the kindness he showed, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely.
